perf evlist: Reference count the cpu and thread maps at set_maps()

Browse Source 
commit a55e566376 upstream.

We were dropping the reference we possibly held but not obtaining one
for the new maps, which we will drop at perf_evlist__delete(), fix it.

This was caught by Steven Noonan in some of the machines which would
produce this output when caught by glibc debug mechanisms:

  $ sudo perf test 21
  21: Test object code reading                                 :***

Further investigation using valgrind led to the reference count imbalance fixed
in this patch.
